There's no single fixed number. Time to hire depends on your market: your area, your compensation and pay structure, and the type of role you're hiring for. That's why we research the data before we start, so we can guide you based on what actually works for your shop rather than a generic average. ### Does Promotive only post my job on job boards? No. Job boards are one channel, not the whole strategy. Promotive uses multiple sourcing channels to find technicians who aren't necessarily browsing job boards, whether they're actively looking or not. ### What's the difference between the platform option and full-service recruiting? Paige, Promotive's recruiting platform, is a done-with-you option: you stay involved in reviewing and selecting candidates.
